It has been proven
over the last several years that the using a CDC type Miniature Light Trap
provides an excellent method of attracting a large quantity and species of
mosquitoes. The Model 2504 trap design is patterned after the light trap
originally developed by the United States Centers For Disease Control. Once
collected the insects can then be identified and counted to provide a
statistical representation of the population density and type of species in any
given area. Collecting a sample of mosquitoes using this light trap can provide
invaluable information necessary for evaluation and control of the mosquito
population.
Once analyzed, this information can be used to:
Accurately determine the most efficient treatment times and locations
Provide information on how well the spray pattern is penetrating target
areas
Identify disease carrying species and the potential for vector-borne
diseases in the area
Determine species resistance to different insecticides
Evaluate the effectiveness of a spraying program
Trap locations can be mapped and printed using "Dyna-Trax" GPS software
